Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment

The Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment at the University of Oxford, is directed by Sir David King. King became a trusted advisor to Tony Blair and one of the key people who persuaded Blair for the need of a nuclear revival. His enthusiasm for nuclear has led Guardian columnist George Monbiot to write that he fears that "the government's chief scientist is mutating into its chief spin doctor."

According to a report by Oxford University's Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment (SSEE), Britain could save billions of pounds if it builds new reactors quickly enough to use spent fuel from its existing plants.
